TFI International has announced the launch of an IPO as well as its 2019 full-year financial results.
The company has announced the launch of a marketed offering of 6m common shares in the United States and Canada, representing TFI International’s initial public offering (IPO) in the United States.
TFI International, already listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “TFII”, will continue to trade TFI International’s common shares. In connection with the IPO in the United States, TFI International has applied to list its common shares on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol “TFII.” Trading in TFI International’s shares is expected to commence on the NYSE following the pricing of the offering.
